• After the general left, Heng'e doubted Yan Ju could stop the frenzy and wondered who had set it in motion; Yan Ju admitted he did not know.

Yan Ju inspected the Emperor Yan Tribe’s growing industries and its army of yin soldiers, then ordered a response after a Heavenly God hunting squad was wiped out.

Yan Ju gained the Emperor Yan Tribe’s support for his campaign against evil entities and began expanding his Yin City enterprise with Heng'e’s help. When they planned a Lunar Hell, Heng'e revealed she meant to recover belongings from a secret place rather than visit the dangerous Lunar Star.

• The Emperor Yan assigned Yan Ju fifty hunting squads, Sacred Land Hall elders, and permission to form a divine corps, while Ting Yao offered to take Xuanji as her final disciple instead of pursuing a marriage alliance.

• Yan Ju offered to ask the Emperor Yan to arrange Celestial Venerables to accompany Heng'e to the Lunar Star, but Heng'e clarified that she meant a secret place known only to her and her sister Xihe.

Heng'e and Yan Ju searched two secret refuges she and her elder sister had left behind, finding an ancient treasure and a Lunar Moon Laurel. Heng'e found no sign that her sister had returned, but the laurel was enough for the small world they planned to open.

• Heng'e led Yan Ju to a hidden realm formed from primordial pure yin qi and explained that she and her elder sister had created it in ancient times.

He entered Nine Netherworld with Heng'e to study the Life-and-Death Reincarnation Disc, where he began comprehending how Fates formed through reincarnation.

• Yang Huai realized his numerous powerful Fates could hinder his breakthrough and considered using his Great Dao of Innate Origin to combine them into an Origin Fate.
